The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Pei An listened to these words, his face showing a hint of smugness. As long as they understood what the Pei Family meant in Qiyun City, today’s matter could be easily resolved.

”It’s best if you understand. If you don’t want to cause trouble for yourself, get lost immediately,” Pei An said.

”It’s just a small Qiyun City. How arrogant! Could it be bigger than Xingluo?” Wang Junyi said with a smile.

Mentioning the word Xingluo, Pei An’s expression changed immediately. Though the Pei Family had overwhelming power in Qiyun City, it was still just Qiyun City and naturally incomparable to Xingluo.

In any case, Xingluo was the most exalted place in the country, overseeing all the cities within Xingluo, including Qiyun City. That place represented the supreme authority.

”You... are you from Xingluo?” Pei An was unwilling to accept this. He was very aware that if this guy was from Xingluo, this matter would not be so simple anymore, and he would definitely pay for his impulsiveness.

”Seven-star Beast Tamer, did you think I was joking with you?” Wang Junyi glanced at the majestic Blood Lion beside him.

The Blood Lion let out a low growl, appearing grand and mighty, yet in front of Wang Junyi, it was as tame as a kitten.

Pei An’s heart trembled. The one thing he least wanted to happen was happening.

A Xingluo Seven-star Beast Tamer, such a person held high status in Xingluo. Offending him was equivalent to offending Xingluo. No matter how powerful the Pei Family was, they couldn’t compete with the vast Xingluo!

Though Pei An was always arrogant and domineering, he was not without brains. Even without much intelligence, he understood what it meant to oppose Xingluo.

”If you kneel down and apologize now, I can still give you a chance. Otherwise, I don’t mind, on behalf of Xingluo, making sure there is no more Pei Family in Qiyun City!” Wang Junyi was still smiling, but the coldness in his eyes was apparent to all.

As his words fell, it wasn’t just Pei An—everyone around watching the scene had a change in expression.

To remove the top family of Qiyun City with just a word, only someone from Xingluo would have such capability, right?

At this moment, in the Pei Family mansion, a servant hurriedly ran to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu, Pei An’s father, was now the City Lord of Qiyun City, and Pei An’s uncle, so Pei Yu’s status was easy to imagine.

Over the years, Pei Yu was well aware of the things Pei An had done in Qiyun City, but he never stopped or reproached him. To some extent, he indulged Pei An’s character.

In fact, to Pei Yu, being hot-headed was how young people should be. Besides, the Pei Family had enough backing to give Pei An such confidence. If he constrained Pei An everywhere, he might raise a timid, incompetent son, which was obviously not what he wanted to see.

”Sir, something happened. You better go and see,” the servant said in a panic to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu took a sip of tea and finally glanced at the servant, ”What happened? Look at you, in such a state. What big thing could possibly happen in this Qiyun City?”

”Young Master, Young Master... something happened at the Red Powder River,” the servant hurriedly replied.

Pei Yu curled his lips. This son of his was just like he was back then. He often lingered by the Red Powder River too. But so what? Qiyun City was originally the Pei Family’s territory. What could possibly happen to the Pei Family’s Young Master?

”When does he not cause trouble? No need to be so nervous. If something happens, just deal with it!” Pei Yu chuckled, seemingly not taking the matter to heart at all.

”Sir, no, the opponent is a Beast Tamer,” the servant said anxiously.

A Beast Tamer?

Pei Yu’s tea-drinking motion paused. A Beast Tamer was indeed not easy to handle. But, this was still Qiyun City. Even if the opponent was a Beast Tamer, so what?

Over the years, the Pei Family had many masters. Ordinary Beast Tamers had to be courteous in front of the Pei Family.

”An’er never causes trouble that requires me to intervene. He must have a way to handle it,” Pei Yu still maintained an unperturbed demeanor. Though Beast Tamers were not as easily handled as ordinary people, Pei Yu believed that even if the opponent was a Beast Tamer, their level couldn’t be that high. With Pei An’s methods, handling it shouldn’t be a problem.

”Sir, this time it’s a Seven-star Beast Tamer,” the servant said, looking helpless.

Pei Yu froze for a moment, then suddenly stood up in disbelief, ”What? A Seven-star Beast Tamer!”

”That’s right, the person’s Exotic Beast is indeed a Blood Lion, a Seven-star Beast Blood Lion. The key is that the person seems to have connections with Xingluo,” the servant said.

Hearing this, Pei Yu’s heart suddenly sank. Indeed, over the years, the Pei Family had been dominant in Qiyun City. After all, the reputation of the top family was not a joke. But facing a Seven-star Beast Tamer, even connected with Xingluo, the Pei Family had no way to contend with Xingluo.

”How could there be a Seven-star Beast Tamer in Qiyun City, and why has the Pei Family not received any news?” Pei Yu said with a grim expression.

”Sir, you better hurry and take a look. The person insists the Young Master kneel and apologize, but seeing Young Master’s attitude, he probably doesn’t want to bow down. If he really offends them, it might not be good,” the servant said urgently.

Pei Yu nodded quickly, no longer showing his previous nonchalant attitude, his face now mixed with panic.

One must know, that was a Seven-star Beast Tamer from Xingluo. How could the Pei Family dare to provoke such a person?

Red Powder River.

Seeing Wang Junyi being so aggressive, Pei An felt extremely uncomfortable. After all these years, he had been in a high position, never having bowed to anyone. But the opponent’s words threatening the absence of the Pei Family in Qiyun City indeed felt like a thorn in his throat.

However, he was the Young Master of the Pei Family, and kneeling and apologizing in front of everyone would undoubtedly invite endless ridicule in their eyes. For Pei An, such a blow was truly unacceptable.

”Have you made up your mind? You have time to dawdle, but I don’t have the patience,” Wang Junyi’s smile gradually disappeared, and his tone lost its patience.

”No matter what, I am still a Pei Family member. Do you really have to be so ruthless?” Pei An gritted his teeth and said.

”What?” Wang Junyi looked at Pei An with disdain and said, ”Do you expect Xingluo to give face to a small Pei Family?”

Hearing this, Pei An suddenly didn’t know what to say. The opponent was indeed right. He knew all too well what Xingluo represented. He didn’t have the guts to put on airs in front of Xingluo. His Pei Family simply did not have that qualification.
